Mitolo
About Mitolo
Originally from the Abruzzo region in Italy, the Mitolo family arrived in Australia in the 1950s and while they relied on their potato business to make a living, they were never far from their viticulturist ancestry. The catalyst to their move into winemaking was what has now become a legendary 5-hour discussion between Frank Mitolo and Ben Glaetzer, renown winemaker and proprietor of Glaetzer Wines. Ben agreed to join Mitolo as winemaker and business partner in fashioning single vineyard wines from McLaren Vale.

Halliday Wine Companion (94)Sourced from the proprietary Lopresti vineyard, known as the 'Chinese Block'. Near Wilunga, this is a warmer zone. Hand picked and placed in drying crates to undergo appassimento; this elevates tannins while concentrating fruit in a shift of the phenolic makeup, imparting a firm, ferrous savouriness. Unabashedly big, yet far from jammy, as a welcome result. Asian spice, blood stone, bitter amaro and cherry pith, with a verdant echo of cabernet in the background. |
